The Library maintains a collection of archival legacy media resources formats, including VHS, DVDs, LaserDiscs, and various audio formats. For more on the history and significance of these collections see the About us page. Legacy physical media collections are available by appointment to UC Berkeley students, faculty and staff with Cal IDs when alternate streaming access is not available.
